Roof A/C Removal
It is about time to do some maintenance on my trailer's roof. It has been 14 years since I put new EDPM on top and the roof:
Replacing the Rubber Roof on my Prowler (lots of pictures)
(yeah, still got that '96 Fleetwood Prowler. It still suits us perfectly)
The roof is starting to showing some need of help, so I am going to be trying one of those coatings on top to give it some more life (probably Dicor). This will mean pulling off the A/C unit (again). I am wondering if I should just dump the A/C. We have never used it, since we dry camp and go to places with pleasant to cool weather. Could save some weight and vertical clearance.
The question becomes, what to do with the hole in the roof? Extra large vent fan? (is there such a thing?) Fill with wood and EDPM patch? I already have a Fantastic Vent about 3 feet from the A/C and a 2 speed fan in the bathroom. Maybe an extra fan might be nice in some cases. Maybe the light from a translucent cover might be nice. Anyone have other ideas/suggestions?
